To make progress, one must stay focused. Being pulled in too many directions means going nowhere. And it is also a waste of precious energy.
If you do not like where you are in life, make better decisions. There are ways to get out of a mess. But the most effective is not to get into it.
Consider carefully what changes will need to be made. Sometimes, you can wind up in a worse state. Think better, and you will tend to do better.
We cannot control the way things turn out. But we can influence them for good or ill. Be the difference if you would wish to make one.
Recklessness reduces potential to just scattered regrets. Many interests have shallow roots. And desperation can make a fool out of anyone.
It is better to move surely than quickly. Those who rush make so many mistakes. Often they find their way to the goal, only to wonder why.
This is a touch one because being overextended can lead to mental breakdowns. I've had them. Yes another side of me seems to be yelling at me to "Do it!" And it's a call that I can't resist. I'm starting to wonder if the mental breakdowns are worth suffering through.
ReplyDeleteIt can be difficult to balance what you want to do with what can readily be accomplished. Move as fast as you can without rushing. Quality is worth so much more than quantity.
DeleteStaying focused is important part of making progress. Emotions can get the best of us and cause us to become reckless and make hasty decisions that do more harm than good, it's best to take things at a steady pace than to burn ourselves out wasting energy.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are calm, you can think more clearly. It is easier to see what needs to be done. Recklessness just wrecks everything.
